We are installing a doorbird tomorrow and the cat5 only goes to an area with a non-poe switch. We have spare UAP AC Pro power injectors that come with the access points. Can we use one for power/network for a doorbird? Thanks.

Nope. uBNT uses their own proprietary poe....which is really annoying

Pro models use standard 802.3af POE, you're good to go.

The UAP AC Pro uses 802.3af standard for its poe, not the 24v passive. However, it appears that the PoE injector uses Mode-B.

Doorbird also uses 802.33af standard but operates in Mode-A

Some helpful info on Mode-A vs Mode-B

We recently installed a DoorBird unit using the recommended TP-Link TL-PoE150S and it worked fine.
But FYI, the connections on the DoorBird seem a little "cheap/ substandard" in my opinion. For the price of the units and the CI features we want, I'd hope they'd be better built, honestly. I felt like a surgeon when I was disconnecting the unit from the board, being super careful not to break something!!
I just installed a Ring Pro for a client and the picture and motion zone adjustment was superior to the DoorBird. If Ring had a unit that could be hardwired and had some of DB's features I'd just use them. I really hope DB has some firmware they can update to make it worth the extra cost and meet a CI's & clients expectations.
I've put in two of the DB's and have two more we've prewired and committed to because of the flush units we've prepped for. Hope DB is listening........

Don't know about feature differences, but Ring can be hardwired

We have one DB in the field and are having consistent intermittent cloud server problems with remote access to the video stream. The unit is online and accessible on the LAN, but not externally. Wondering about ISP's DNS servers, cell throttling or some other external aspect at this point. Really frustrating and unpredictable.

No, sorry. Was thinking power. The jobs I have installed them we had control of the network and installed UAPs and had good coverage at the doorbell locations. I was thinking about hardwiring power when I commented.

For power only, not network connection. That's what I meant, sorry about not being clearer.

That's ok, that is actually what I assumed. Ring can be hard wired for power.
